Title: Improvements in and relating to Variable Speed Gears.
Inventor: MYERS JAMES JOSEPH
IPC: B62M25/00
Filed: 1910-05-05
Granted: 1911-05-04
Abstract: 8440. Myers, J. J. May 5, 1910. Variable - speed and reversing gearing comprises ratchet-mounted pinions 4, Figs. 1 and 2, arranged a r o u n d a central pinion 1, and a variable eccentric 9, the non-rotary character of w h i c h differentiates it from the device described in Specification 11,168/10. The hubs of the pinions 4, which are carried on a spider 3, are rigidly connected to arms 5, which carry rollers 8 &c. resting against the eccentric 9. The spider 3 and pinion 1 are secured to driving and driven, or driven and driving, elements 18, 2 respectively. The function of the eccentric 9 is to cause an oscillation of the arms 5, so that the speed imparted to the driven element, which can be varied, is equal to or greater than that of the driving- element. By means of the epicyclic gear shown in Fig. 9, a speed varying from zero to a maximum in either direction may be imparted to a finally-driven shaft 47. Bevel-wheels 41, 42 are secured to the sleeve 2 and shaft 18 respectively. Bevel-wheels 43, 44 are connected by a loose sleeve. Planetary pinions 45<1> mesh with the wheel 41, 43, and planetary pinions 46<1> mesh with the wheels 42, 44. These pinions are carried by rings 45, 46 adapted to gear externally with wheels 48, 50, which are loose upon the shaft 47. The wheels 48, 50 are driven respectively forwards and backwards when the other of them is held by a brake 51, and a double clutch 49 serves to make con. nexion with the shaft 47. The adjustment of the eccentric 9 to vary the speed is effected by turning an inner ring 10, Fig. 4, relatively to a casing 14, and this is done by means of a lever 19 and worm gearing 15, 16, Fig. 1. The gearing is stated to be applicable upon ships, vehicles, cranes, conveyers, machine tools, &c., in connexion with turbines and electric and other motors.

Abstract: 8653. Schmidt, F. W. April 7. Thermal switches; cases.- A thermal switch for immersion in an electric storage cell to control the charging automatically, as described in Specification 22,888 / 10, consists of a bimetallic strip 3 mounted upon a brass plate 1 in an acid-resisting and electrically conducting casing, for example of lead. The casing contains a liquid hydrocarbon which is a non- conductor of electricity and a conductor of heat and serves to quench arcs. The cover 9 of the casing has a closed chamber 12 and a tube 27 through which a connecting wire 29 is passed to be secured by a binding-screw to a screwed plug 16 in the chamber, this being filled with fusible non-conducting material 33 such as paraffin. The plug is insulated by rubber washers from a disk 15 of lead, the disk being insulated also from a lower binding-screw which secures one end of a wire connected with the adjustable switch contact 6. The wire 29 is insulated by rubber, and has a lead cover which may be soldered to the tube 27, the end 27<X> of which is flared. The chamber 12 is closed by a leaden seal 34.

Granted: 1912-01-04
Abstract: 11,641. Duparchy, L. M. J., Lombard, M. L., and Brillouin, J. B. May 13. Incandescent spray burners.-In an upright incandescent burner, oil from a reservoir 6 is sprayed by a jet of air, gas, or vapour issuing under pressure from an orifice 7 directly below the burner head 2, the air &c. being previously heated in a tube 8 at the side of the burner.

Title: Connection for Lighting Metallic Vapour Electric Lamps.
IPC: H05B41/10
Filed: 1911-10-21
Granted: 1912-05-23
Abstract: 23,284. Quarzlampen Ges. Oct. 22, 1910, [Convention date]. Low-pressure metallic-vapour apparatus. - During the lighting of a vapour lamp, for instance a mercury lamp having a silica container, a heavy rush of current is checked by an additional series resistance, which is automatically placed in circuit when current is switched on and is cut out when the vapourpressure and consequently the resistance of the lamp have increased somewhat. Lighting is thus accelerated, and the use of iron-wire resistances rendered unnecessary. In one arrangement, a series electro-magnet D, when traversed by an excessive current, actuates a switch arm A so as to open a short-circuit to the additional resistance W<2>; a spring closes the switch when the current diminishes. To prevent a momentary current rush while the switch is being opened, there may be added a shunt electro-magnet C which opens the switch when the lamp is connected to the supply mains and before the electrodes are short-circuited by mercury; the shunt electro-magnet, which may serve for tilting the lamp, is subsequently cut out by the series electro-magnet. In adapting this arrangement to an alternating - current lamp, a normal and additional resistance, a series electro-magnet, and a switch, are provided for each anode, but a single shunt electromagnet serves to open both switches when the lamp is first connected up, and an electro-magnet in series with the cathode cuts out the shunt electro-magnet. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) describes also another arrangement in which the switch is held open by a spring except when closed by a shunt electro-magnet; this electro-magnet is switched into circuit by a series electro-magnet, and acts when the lamp pressure increases. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

The member g is then operated by a handle j so as to enable the rod d to clear the cam surface f', this movement of the member g effecting the locking of the hand-wheel a by the engagement of one end of the member g with a gap in the periphery of a disk i attached to the hand-wheel. On re-closing the lid, the hand-wheel is unlocked automatically by means of a retracting-spring k.
